Matthew Unstrung

Rating:
Summary: Compelling story, richly-drawn characters and texture
Review: Matthew Unstrung is a compelling story based upon the life of the Author's grandfather as a young adult in the Midwest around 1910. A story of rigidly-defined family relationships and family expectations, Matthew Unstrung is filled with richly-drawn characters, each a product of his or her place in time, and each who impact upon Matthew's life, however well-intended and perhaps misguided by today's standards, and who play a pivotal role in Matthew's journey into the darkness of mental illness and ultimately out again into the light.

Summary: The I'm Bored on Sunday Book
Review: Matthew Unstrung was not very interesting to me. It did'nt really keep my attention however I do think that this book is a good reference to learn about Christian America in the early 1900's.
